Cenus bureau to record GPS position of every front door, per Fundy nutters.

[Deep13]

Apparently, census takers are going to "paint" everyones front door for its GPS location. If you have a pocket Constitution, a Bible or guns then, um, this is bad I guess.

1. I've got a 77 lb border collie.

Just let them TRY to paint the door.

[Deep13]

2. Acorn will paint the door and then the collie!

Run while you can!

[TZ]

3. So how will they mark the homeless?

With a forehead tattoo? (I know fundies who REALLY think this is coming)

[SoxFan]

47. The aliens are taking care of them

Implanting chips in their sinus cavities

[mainegreen]

4. Um, hasn't google, mapquest etc already done something like this?

Are they worried the government will know where they live?

Because they already do, you know.

[Left Is Write]

6. Yeah.

"So the govt now has an easy way to find your house with no messy directions, no confusing street signs."

Um...the government ALREADY finds my house every weekday plus Saturdays. And they...they LEAVE STUFF in a black box at the end of my driveway! It's a horrible conspiracy!

[realisticphish]

26. a BLACK box, huh?

First helicopters, now boxes. WHAT NEXT

[Left Is Write]

29. Yes! And I have to have it! And it has to be government-approved!

It's oppression, I say!

[redqueen]

40. ...

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Yeahm, cuz without GPS coordinates, the feds can't tell where your door is.

:eyes:

Fucking hell, those guys are batshit insane loopy.

8. In a not-so-stunning ironic turn...

one of the respondents said she would "pray for them" but "sometimes you can't fix stupid."

15. 'nuff said! nt

9. It must be true, though.

This is posted at the top of that discussion forum:

The One World Government System This is not a forum for conspiracy theories, this is a place for news, articles, and commentaries regarding the UN/EU, and the emerging One World Government revealing end times events. Matthew 24; Romans 8:22 Conspiracy threads will be deleted.

[mainegreen]

11. "Conspiracy threads will be deleted"???

Good grief, Charlie Brown.

I think a blew a fuse just trying to wrap my mind around the absurdity of that.

[Deep13]

16. I thought Rapture Ready was a conspiracy theory. nt

[LibertyLover]

43. No, if you want conspiracy theories, go to

Above Top Secret - now those are conspiracy theorists.

[Sebastian Doyle]

46. How is that any more absurd than shoving them all into a basement forum here?

Granted, the conspiracy threads over there are really bizarre, because it's usually all about :evilgrin:SATAN:evilgrin:, or who they think is working for :evilgrin:SATAN:evilgrin:

But then, so are most of their non-conspiracy threads. If Jesus ever reads Rapture Ready, I'll bet it really creeps Him out.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Ah, not a place for conpiracy theorIES, a place for just the one theorY.

The big granddaddy of them all.

Some people boggle my mind beyond the ability to comprehend or know or understand or have any king of frakking clue what universe they live in.

[InternalDialogue]

7. I'm totally going to foil that plan.

I'm going to let them mark my front door, and then I'm going to move it to the side of the house.

When they come to get me, they'll be yelling at a brick wall.

[InternalDialogue]

10. Erm, and one other detail:

If you fill out your census form and mail it back to them, no one comes to "visit" you.

:banghead:

[old mark]

14. Wait, now - GPS every home? Are there homes that move around randomly?

I mean, if your address is down on someone's paper list, what is the advantage of having it on a GPS - you already have it, no? And if you actually have to go there to addit to a GPS, well, you already know where it is?
Is this some idiot's nightmare, like my computer thinking it's 1909?

Am I missing something fundamental or are they pretty stupid?
:shrug:

:tinfoilhat:

[Deep13]

18. Well if one lives in a trailer park and a tornado hits...

...then yeah, the street address can randomly change. Otherwise, I'm leaning toward "pretty stupid," and intentially self-inflicted stupid at that.

[Orrex]

20. I'd swear that my home was right here just a minute ago

Now where did I leave the damn thing?

:shrug:

30. If only you had put in a GPS tracking device...

[DBoon]

28. you don't live in California

earthquakes cause our homes to end up in the strangest locations

[XemaSab]

33. The units don't come with addresses in them

You have to go collect them on the ground.

[petronius]

41. It helps for routing things like emergency services (e.g. fire trucks)

Street addresses aren't necessarily evenly distributed along a street, so on a long street the precise location of a given address could be pretty vague (especially in rural areas)...

[hedgehog]

17. Ha! My son has an old, remodeled farm house and he doesn't

have a front door, just a back door!

I guess the farmer's family all used the kitchen door, so when they enclosed the porch they took the door out!

22. Probably a violation of Federal Law under the New Obama World Order

How can we put them in education camps if they won't play fair?

[KitchenWitch]

19. Even if they "painted" the door

couldn't one just change their door?

[petronius]

21. There's not much sadder than the combination of extreme fear and stupidity

Well, except for the fact that these people get to vote...

[Deep13]

23. If my door is red, can they...well...you know the rest. nt

[rockymountaindem]

24. "So the govt now has an easy way to find your house... no messy directions or confusing street signs

Maybe street signs confuse the rapture ready types, in the real world there's already an easy way for the government to find where you live. It's called YOUR ADDRESS (idiots). Knowing the latitude and longitude of your porch is going to make this easier for them how?

If the fools on that thread would just think for *one* minute, their lives would be so much better.

[Liberal Veteran]

25. If you paint lamb's blood over the door frame, the census taker will pass you by.

Or is that the angel of death? I always get those confused.

27. Spin the trailer around backwards, that'll show 'em.

[bluedigger]

31. Um, as someone who works for the gov't...

and regularly tries to reconcile addresses and GPS coordinates, using Mapquest, Google Earth, MSNLive, and anything else we can think of, to properly locate the address, this is dumber than shit. While we can figure out most of them, we regularly have to get off our asses, leave our cubicle, and go drive out there and "ground truth" the data. As has already been pointed out, many local, state, and federal agencies already know where the fuck you live, and the next time your house catches on fire, you will be glad they did. (Hopefully!)

[Deep13]

34. I actually was a census taker in 2000.

A couple of people mentioned Revelation when I asked for their information.

[XemaSab]

32. As a matter of fact, this is true

We've got GPS units and we ARE taking points at everyone's front door.

And everyone in the census class thinks it's creepy, too.

Especially creepy is the fact that your assigned GPS unit can't be turned off, so if you work for them, they know where you are. :tinfoilhat:

[Deep13]

35. Nine years ago we had a road map and a pen.

Perhaps the GPS is for population density study.

Census Bureau Adopts GPS to Find American Homes

Census Workers to Verify Addresses in the U.S.
First Major 2010 Census Operation to Employ 140,000

The Census Bureau will launch a massive operation on March 30 to verify and update more than 145 million addresses as it prepares to conduct the 2010 Census.

Nationwide, more than 140,000 census workers will participate in the address canvassing operation, a critically important first step in assuring that every housing unit receives a census questionnaire in March 2010. All information is kept confidential. The countdown to the 2010 Census is officially one year out on April 1.

“A complete and accurate address list is the cornerstone of a successful census,” said Tom Mesenbourg, acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau. “Building on the achievements of the 2000 Census, we have been testing and preparing for the 2010 count all decade, and we’re ready to fulfill our constitutional mandate to count everyone living in the United States.”

Do I ever feel like a moran.

38. One day we'll wake up and feel a draft.

All our front doors will be gone. It's part of the International Front Door Abduction Conspiracy.

Then they'll come for our back doors.

39. they're going to paint my door?

cool, I check that of the list of chores I have to do. :rofl:

[LibertyLover]

42. I saw this on the site Above Top Secret

where the poster claimed it was going to be Obama and ACORN doing the painting. My answer was Dude - trust me, President Obama has more important things to do. And even if one of his security detail lives up the street from me and our daughters go to the same elementary school, his security people are going to let him wander around door to door anywhere. Chill. Most of the responders to the post were saying the same thing, and that was on a website dedicated to conspiracy theories.
